Unfortunately, despite my thoughts on the game itself (which were mostly positive), I've had to pivot and change my review to a negative one with a massive warning - the game is backed by crypto and has plans to (re)introduce NFTS. While this has been scrubbed from their site, it is not something that I can personally be involved with or endorse. I've since wiped my original review. I had fun with my time with the game but will not be continuing my time with it. After my stream of the game on 5/19/2025, several other content creators approached me with proof of this and that the team behind it did not feel the "need to disclose" this information. I have deleted the VOD of our gameplay, fun as it was. It hurts, because the game is adorable and has a lot of fun, but I simply cannot and will not be involved with anything crypto or NFT related. It's a personal and business principle I stand upon and no amount of fun, money or enticement can ever budge me from this platform.
Super fun social deduction game. Recommend trying it for sure! The game has unique characters, with fun graphics, feels smooth to play, and offers a lot of interesting gameplay mechanics not often seen in other social deduction games.

I played a few hours of this having been gifted a copy from a streamer friend of mine. Unfortunately I had written out an extensive review of the game and some things I felt like could use updates or working on, as well as portions of the game i really enjoyed. I then found out via digging on the internet that this game is backed by blockchain/crypto and that while they halted that "project" to relaunch under a "better light," and hopefully grow a player base, it was in plans to reintroduce the nft and crypto projects. They have dead links attached to their main web page that suggest prior nft and crypto schemes and if you look up castle of blackwater crypto and COBE you can easily find some more information out there. I find this disgusting and will be requesting steam to provide a refund to my friend if they bought this game for me. Either way I won't support these people and I hope this big no-no according to valve is taken seriously.
Very nice game. It feels like a 3d game of cluedo but with a nice extra touch. (You can move freely trough the map)
I've played several different social deduction game and to this day Castle of Blackwater has given me the most amount of fun with any of them. Great game, runs smooth, highly recommend playing with voice as it really is intended for it. Have fun!
免费 有中文 有成就
狼人角色超模,游戏内部存在海量bug(如转盘的概率条不消失,游戏内人员卡出和教程第三关消失),游戏体验很一般,中文字库不全看得非常难受。
Great for a group of friends to play. It has an Among Us vibe with a twist to it, which is nice. Core gameplay features three factions, each with unique win conditions and abilities. Sharp deduction skills are essential to uncover roles and outmaneuver opponents. The day/night cycle introduces strategic depth, requiring a balance between task completion and nighttime threats. Death isn't final; you play as a ghost, collecting souls to influence the game! The initial walkthrough is really helpful in familiarizing yourself with the game. I'll definitely be looking to get my buddies who are streamers playing this game. CON: Long load times. But it is worth the wait
f2p, macht spass und liebevoll im detail
Nos está encantado el juego, muy divertido para jugar con amigos y los devs están siempre muy atento a cualquier ayuda que necesites.
